(Artel: Westbrook, ME) — Artel has unveiled its Multichannel Verification System (MVS) with several significant enhancements that provide additional capabilities for understanding the performance of automated liquid handlers. The Artel MVS now generates measurements—traceable to national and international standards—of volumes dispensed to each well in a 384-well plate. Based on ratiometric photometry, which measures light absorption by two specially formulated dyes to verify delivered volumes, the Artel MVS is well-known for its effectiveness and has become the industry standard for liquid handling quality assurance.

Standardization, improved data management, and speed are at the core of the latest MVS enhancements. With the MVS update, users of 96- or 384-well plates will be able to compare liquid handler performance from site to site and from instrument to instrument.
